Description
Condition: This is a great playing guitar with phenomenal sounding pickups. There are scratches, nicks, dings, dents and chips throughout the entire instrument. The largest dings, dents and chips are on the bottom and back of the guitar. Several of these appear to have been caused by impact. There are scratches and small dings throughout the top with some heavier pick scratches on the pickguard. There is some light buckle rash on the back but it is mostly on the back cover plate. The pickguard is slightly warped and has a small gap on the bass side near the bridge. This does not affect playability or sound whatsoever. Fingerboard and frets have moderate play wear with heavier fret wear in the lower registers. The neck is very straight with a very slight warp around the 12th fret. The neck plays beautifully and the truss rod functions fine. All electronics and parts are in perfect working condition.
Body: Solid contoured body in candy apple red finish. G&L vibrato bridge with six individual saddles and vibrato arm, white skirted control knobs, single-ply white pickguard and a single-ply black cover plate.
Neck: Slender bolt-on maple neck with three screws and neck tilt adjustment. Rosewood fingerboard, pearloid dot inlays and a 1 5/8” nut. Locking Sperzel tuners, 25.5” scale length.
Pickups/Electronics: Single-coil pickups in the neck, middle and bridge with master volume dual tone controls and a 5-way selector switch. The middle tone control rolls off tone for all three pickups. The bottom tone control is designed as a bass control that adds fullness as it is rolled up.
Neck: 5.97K Ohms.
Middle: 6.13K Ohms.
Bridge: 6.56K Ohms.
Weight: 7lbs, 5.5oz.
Playability/Sound: This guitar has a very vintage feel reminiscent of early Fender guitars. The pickups on this piece sound exceptional and provide a lot of clarity and transparency to the overall sound. They provide plenty of shimmer when clean and overdriven but can get beefy if needed. The slender neck is extremely comfortable and ideal for players who prefer a very slim neck profile.
Case: Includes original hardshell case. The middle latch has broken off; otherwise the case is in good working condition.
